My journey. Teaching in China and exploring the world. |
Catia and Yuki took Kat and I to a Chinese massage place in Tonghe, they said it would be an experience and yes ... yes it was!! So we went for a foot massage and that also included, head, neck, back, legs being massaged. As well as using a blade to remove hard skin on your feet and then... yes there is more... hot bamboo cups sucking at your feet!! The methods of massage were interesting and we have quite a few funny video's which I will have to show you but actually it was quite good and only £7! To get over the experience but still keeping it strictly Chinese, we ate all the food in a Chinese restaurant nearby. I feel prepped and ready for my next half marathon now at the weekend!

The sixth form common room became adorned with GCSE and A level art on display from this year's examination groups. Wow, I was taken back by the incredible time and effort that had gone into final pieces, let alone how amazing these pieces were. I cannot put up all the pictures but these sketches were the pieces I could not believe were not paid artists work!!
Keeping up the cultured weekend antics in the city, a group of us went to see the touring west end show; The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Ahhh it was fantastic!! I have not been to a play in so long, always seeing musicals if I go to the theatre, so it was a lovely change. The set was so clever, using lights and secret compartments in the set to change scenes as well as great physical theatre and acting. I think the cherry on top, was the cute puppy at the end!! We are going to try and see a few more shows in the run up to Christmas, including Cats, Mamma Mia and Chicago. It is in the Opera House in the park opposite Canton Tower and it is an incredible modern building, so was a treat to go. After the show there was a huge thunder and lightning storm with torrential rain, so naturally the only option was to go to a nice bar whilst waiting in our taxi queue for over an hour!!
